I’m pretty damn young (15) a couple years ago, there was guy who had tried to ‘win’ me. Muiltple times he wanted to talk to me but never managed to say anything, just walked up to me and was totally silent and walked away again (and he is a really out-going guy who is extremely mature for his age) (same age as me). A month later his friend asked me out, which killed him inside but gave him opportunities to get to know me. When ever his friend was not around he avoided me as to not tempt himself. Even after his friend and I broke up he tried to avoid me. He waited for a year before trying anything (and only tried after his friend had told him it was OK), then wrote me poems and did random little crazy sweet things to tell me he liked me. After a year, he ended up spray painting part of our school with a short poem and a funky heart and it also said I love you, Flash (called me flash cause when ever he was stoned apparently my lips flashed in colour lol) to try and prove to me that he loved me. It was kind of awkard but sweet in an odd way. Eventually him and I unofficially got together and I made it REALLY tough for him since I was not yet over his friend. Him and I were on off almost ever other week. Over all, he ended up waiting for me almost two years before I went out with him. He did EVERYTHING I asked him to to try to prove he loved me. Well, now we have been dating for 5 months, there have been issues but they have all been worked out. As of recently he is quitting ALL types of intoxication for me. :) I guess what I’m trying to say is if he is worth it and he really does care for more than just things, he will wait for you. -Not necessarily as long as my guy, I think my case was just…‘special’, but he will wait. :) Best of luck!
